Description
GridStatusHealingReduced is a plugin for Grid to provide aggregate statuses for debuffs which reduce or prevent healing received.
After installing the plugin, you will find two new statuses available in Grid: one for debuffs which reduce healing received, and one for debuffs which reduce healing received by 100%. Both indicators have all the options normally associated with Grid statuses.

If you know of any debuffs which reduce the effectiveness of all healing spells, but are not listed above, please see the Bug Reports section below.
Please note that the following debuffs have been intentionally excluded:
Incinerate Flesh
Though this debuff does indeed reduce all healing received by 100%, the general purpose of the Healing Prevented status is to show that you shouldn't spend your time and mana trying to heal someone, whereas you definitely should heal someone with the Incinerate Flesh debuff.
Shadow Embrace
This debuff reduces the effectiveness of only periodic healing, and is the only debuff that does this. If you are a druid and you PvP, you can easily add this single debuff to Grid yourself. Until more debuffs like this are added to the game, I've opted to keep GridStatusHealingReduced limited only to debuffs which affect all healers in a wider variety of situations.
Localization
GridStatusHealingReduced is compatible with all locales.
The options menu text is translated into English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Dependencies
GridStatusHealingReduced is a plugin for Grid, and thus requires that addon to be installed and enabled. You can find up-to-date versions of Grid on WoWInterface and Curse.
Reporting Problems
If you encounter a problem with GridStatusHealingReduced, first check the ticket tracker to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has, then I'm already aware of it, and you don't need to report it again. If you have new information about the problem, though, feel free to post a comment on the existing ticket!
If the problem hasn't been reported, try some basic addon troubleshooting. In some cases, you'll be able to solve the problem yourself right away. At the very least, troubleshooting will help you collect useful information for a new report.
Finally, post a new bug report ticket. Be sure to include all of information requested in the ticket template. Tickets that (a) don't include a version number, (b) indicate that there is an error but don't include the error message, (c) don't give me enough information to have any idea what kind of problem you're trying to report, and/or (d) have been waiting on a response from you for more than week, will be closed. Please take the few extra moments to write a good bug report, and check on your report after a few days!
Requesting Features
Post a feature request ticket describing the feature you'd like to see, and explaining why you think the feature would be a good addition to the addon. Please keep in mind that GridStatusHealingReduced has a very specific purpose, and I will decline all requests for features which are not directly related to that purpose.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.
